This male Common Flameback (Dinopium javanense) was photographed by Johnny Wee at the Singapore Botanic Gardens on September 2008. The woodpecker was eating an over-ripe chempedak fruit (Artocarpus integer) for about 15 minutes. Woodpeckers are primarily insectivorous, feeding mainly on insects and their larvae, as well as other arthropods. Many have also been observed to feed on plant products including tree sap. Winkler & Christie (2002) note that frugivory is widespread among woodpeckers. More
